And UK backer 7XXX already got their 8K 20 days ago.
I’m backer 24XX … as I said, probably backed weeks before they did but getting mine weeks after.

Even though I will get it in the end, but I won’t forget the waiting Pimax has put me through.

Hopefully get the HMD before mid April -that’s when OrbusVR reborn is released which is what I really wanna play…

Now Pimax say they’ve shipped all backer headsets… But I feel like I’ve probably been skipped over,… Or fallen thru the cracks… Or accidentally edited out of the spreadsheet… Or will go missing in the mail… the journey we’ve had waiting for this headset I can’t bring myself to believe in a positive outcome just yet lol

8K Backer 45xx / DE got my Trackingnumber this morning from the DPD App :metal:. It looks like the remaining Backer headsets arrived in the UK warehouse :+1:

Amazing how long it takes for them to ship from SH to HK.
From SH to UK is faster!

Well, there are a couple of DPD office clerks involved, and if each of them insists on trying your Pimax for at least 3 days at home, that unfortunately adds to the delivery time.
And of course explains all the bruises to the boxes - just imagine how often the device is dragged out and stuffed back into the box… :persevere:

Well, yes. While you try to understand.
But there is no deeper mind or evil enemy, who is fighting against you.

The truth is (imo), they are not professinal in:

  1. product design - weak case, which brek on first drop
  2. production planning - several communication issues depends on incorrect production data?
  3. communication - “You will recieve an e-mail, when your package was send” → failed
    The logistics belongs to the supplier DPD and they don’t see backer number or preorder number. So, they can’t care about sequence of order.

Over all, the delay is for over 1 year. So, some weeks don’t change a thing to the conclusion, that I would not sign a Kickstarter campain again, which contains a complex system.
Yust let the experience of technical teething touble anybody else than me.

I just got my 8k today in Canada with having to pay on top Duty (guessing non voluntary VIP) charges of 22 CAD, thought that my 50 USD should have covered that??!? My 5K plus (8KX loaner) that was shipped two months ago still hasn’t arrived, trouble / support tickets keeping getting closed on me when trying to track its whereabouts down. FML

The loaner-8K has arrived, yeah!! I’ll be excited to see if I notice any practically relevant difference between the two…

FYI, I still havn’t received any tracking number, and I just received a courier call today.

P.S. Pimax please check your shipping addresses, mine’s have incomplete address, luckily they have my phone number to call me before they deliver.

My 8K arrived over 3 weeks ago and I still haven’t received a tracking number. :confused:

Your headset could potentially arrive tomorrow, given that tracking numbers have had major delays for many of us.

Backer 6248 still no 8k or 5k even the patience of a saint has limits lol

All 8Ks were shipped since March 15th … mine should have reached HK warehouse many days ago. Has it? Why don’t they send it to me? Is there a problem with the address?
